The Newspaper BulI.iin Hoard.

One of the most popular adiuncts to
popular education is the newspaper bulle-
tin board. Fresh every morning and re-
yised every etening, it informs, interests
and excites the curiosity of the populace,
and whets the public appetite for the am
plification of the news which is sure TO
be found in the printed page of the freshly
issued 1Qlrnal. But the pnrest satisfac.
tion is not enjoyed by the eager crowd,
which risks accident from the jostlng Of
passengers and teams, while it uncon.
sciously obstructs the thoroughfare; the
happiest man is one of the craft who
breads to attempt TO read the newspaper
because there is SO much he cannot coro
scientiously pass by without examination
but which proves after wadng through
1t to be of the old padded vuriety-a
column and half which he is accustomed
to cOndense into stickful. How it
gladdens the heart TO behold the bold let
ters Of the bulletin and absorb their
meaning, no superilnous paint used in the
construction of the sentences, no wealth
of verbiage squandered on mere moth
ings, but bold fact-tenuded of the twad-
die which goes SO far in these days to-
ward removing every yestige Of interest
which the headlines inspire-the kernel
which, planted in the fertile brain of the
ready writer, forms the text of II para
graph to which he can contribute inter-
csting collateral matter at moment $

ABOUT THE "EvlL EYE"


An Important Glass of Legends and
>nprrstitions-A Strange Tale.
The dtycrt oriental origin Of the irish
l"u.lv l.Us been contended for by many
r"rlcI7 on the subject, and one of the
principal arguments in favor Of their
p27it:cn i3 found in the similarity of the
legendary lore of Ireland to that of
a fabia. Persia and India Among the
Peoples living in these countries very i'm
IOrtant class Of Icgeuds and superstitions
relate to the ''evil eye" and in Ireland,
also, hundreds of tales arc told of the NAL
Ign influence cXerted by certain people
supposed TO have the power Of doing mis-
chief by Il glance. Every one knows how
great is the influence of u peculiar kind of
eye sometimes seen, and how depressing
and sometimes overawing it is, and in this
fact is perhaps found the origin of the
tales concerning the evil eye.
According to the Irish stories, the evil
eye is generally sunken, small and half
concealed by a shaggy, overhanging eye
brow. Its glance is able 10 cause sickness
of almost any kind; to ini'ict sudden and
otherwise unaccountable pains in various
parts Of the body; to blight crop; to
render n household utensil worthless for
the purpose for which il was dcsigned; to
make II horse fall lamc or n COW go of her

-e One Of the curioslties OF science Is to be
found in the effect of impurities upon an
alloy Of gold and copper or other metal
Workers in the precious metal have long
known that minute quantities of certain
other metals render gold brittle and I'M
workable. 1t is, in fact, Il serious diff
Guilty with which jewellers have always
had to contend.
IN m experiment recently made to dem
onstrate this truth, 200 sovereigns were
melted and n minute portion of lead add
ed, amounting only to the 2,0O0th part Of
the weight Of the mass. A little of the
pure gold had been first run into Il snail
ingot, which was bent and tattcned 10
prove that IL was perfectly workable
The rest of the mass was allowed to
harden in the form of Il har, and wien it
was sufficiently cool to handle it could lie
broken by n slight tap of Il hammer, or
even with the fingers. The color of the
gold was quite altered and had become an
orange brown, while its tcnucily--thnt is,
its resistance to force cXertpd to pull il
asundcr-hah been reduced from eighteen
tons to the square inch to live tons.
A bar of tin, which could scarcely he
broken, though it would readily bend
double, was rubbed with II slight GUAM
tity of quicksilver. The fluid penetrated
the solid one, and in Il few seconds the bar
could be readily broken. Its fractured
surface was white, like silver.

Before the time of steamboats, and rail
roads, and even up 10 the time when Ner-
curry threw aside his trumpet and took in
stead telesrapher's key, there was a de-
mand for letters on travel, but to-day
there is no more unstable sort of written
matter. Still people persist in bothering
editors with articles of this kind, and /
suppose one-quarter of the floating manu-
script in America is written by this de-
luded class. After the pay dirtn in a
mine is exhausted don't try to work it.
London, Paris, Berlin, Rome and, in fact,
every part of Europe have been written
about until there is absolutely nothing
new to say, and the same holds good in
relation to America. Unless You have an
observation and power to express 1t equal
to Dickens, don't try to write letters for
publication descriptive Of places and
things that hav, previously been visited
and seen by u Ian who knew how to use
pen and paper.-C, NJ. Hammond -

With every advance ofemigration into the
far West, new demand is created for Hos
letter Stomach Biltcrs. Newly peOpled re-
gions are frequently less salubrious than older
settled localities, on account Of the miasma
which rises from recently cleared and. par
tlcularly along the banks OF rivers that are
subject to freshets. The agricultural or min
ing emigrant soon learns, when he does not
already know, that the Bitters afford the only
sure protection against malaria, and those
disorders of the stomach, liver and bowels
to which climate changes, exposure, and
unaccusfomed or unhealthy water or diet sub

mate upon this great household specific and

merits, and IS careful 10 keep On hand u re-

The education or the elephant would be
very easy but for his cumbersome weight,
which forces tho trainer Ia have recourse
to cruel means, For instance, to make
him raise and hold cut lis fnot, an iron
ring with sharp points i ,.i.,gl On it, and
being drawn by n rup", J.p rriGts enter
the flesh. The elephant, feeling the pain,
lifts up his foot and Keeps it in the air Til
the pain ceases. After Il few repetitions
he remembers the pain, and 1T tie sight
of the iron raises his foot. Ills instruc.
t!on, thanks 10 his intelligence, is soon
completed. Some elephants, in less than
fortnight, are taught to play on drum,
work a tricycle. and beg on their hind

One by one the roses fall. This
week we are again called to chronicle
the fact that all that was Of any good
to the Center is gone, and gone forever
so far as the Center is concerned.
Howell Bros. lumber yard, that the
people of Sherman Center have so
long pointed at with so much pride,
took up the line of march, this week,
and is now safely lodged at Eustis, the
county seat of Sherman county. The
people at the Center have been prOmis-
ing us that we should soon hear some
thing drop, and at last we have heard
it: and as heretofore stated it struck
slap dab in the county seat. About
the only thing left at the Center is a
hole, wind and imagination, B. Taylor
with his Ebert County Democrat and
Tenant with his Eustis Little girl.
And ere the seed time is past, the
place that the geographical center now
occupies will be used as truck patch
and we should Judge from the history
of the past it would need no fertiliz-
ing as Tenant and Taylor both have
fertilizing aualities.-Dark Horse.

THE BEAUTIFUL RAIN.

Oh the beautiful rain that falls from above,
Reminding fault-nnders that God Is love:
For it surely falls in mercy down
That the land in plenty may abound.
1t has been said more than once
In the past six MONTHS:
wonder if it ever will rain.
Although it has showed
And the wind it has bowed
think we ought not to complain.
Not many years ago
There is few here that know
This place was deserted and drear,
Permit me to say that they who did stay
Endured many hardships through fear.
After settlement was made
Soon the Indians did invade
Killing all whom they CHANGED for to see.
Many hOmesteaders left unfortunate bereft,
They had fewer advantages than we.
Oh the beautiful rain so gently doth fall
To gladden. the hearts and homes Of all.
great blessing is sent to this place once so dry
Let us be thankful to him who dwelleth OIL
high.
We will look on the bright side,
For the Lord will provide
! If we trust in his infinite love;
And happier we would be,
For TO power have We
Over Him who dwelleth above.
